A richly illustrated and extremely enjoyable reference book on the historical evolution of the nude. From the Paleolithic great mothers to the Greek athletes, from the Venus of Urbino by Titian to Leonardo's Vitruvian Man, from the Odalisque by Boucher to those by Ingres, to the Amazons of Helmut Newton and the desolate, lifeless bodies of Andres Serrano, the nude is the theme of artistic representation par excellence. The nude body as the incarnation of perfect beauty and the suspicions concerning its sensuality imposed by Christian culture; the renewed triumph of ancient beauty in the Renaissance and the study of anatomy; the visual licentiousness of the eighteenth century and the photographic nude; ideal beauty, eroticism, pornography; the nude also as representation of the ugly and its flaunted truthfulness in the art of the twentieth century; the nude that itself becomes a work of art in the avant-garde of the post-WWII period, with performance, body art and experimental theater. These threads of the narration make for a deeply informative historical exploration of the nude in Western art, all conducted around a rich apparatus of images.

The Collective Memory of President Bush's Response to Hurricane KatrinaEvaluating the industry' s impact during a rare time when it faced no competition, this book is also directed at anyone considering a career in TV News and those already working within the field. It sheds light on what really happened during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and whether President Bush responded appropriately. Did reporters deceive the millions who were watching? Serving as a foundational citation in Communication, the analysis uses a methodology that may continue to be replicated in order to forge a more definitive and diversified view of how TV News impacts history. Appealing to professionals working in History, Politics, and Communication, this book investigates the broadcast content to determine its accuracy and the public memory it created. But during, and immediately after, Hurricane Katrina, almost all communication in the area abruptly ceased. In an age when technology is evolving at an exponential pace, our reliance on it is increasing just as fast. Only one medium was able to effectively operate and inform the nation: TV News. Very little academic literature exists on the ramifications from a period in which one news medium dominates.2006 руб
